Golden Years

Golden Years was a television series that ran on CBS from 16 July to 22 August 1991.

The show ran for eight episodes.The miniseries was to lead into a regular series, and therefore ended on a cliffhanger. CBS, however, decided not to pick up the option on the full series, and it was never realized. King asked for four hours of airtime in the following spring to finish the story, but CBS denied him this. The home video version changes the last few minutes of the final aired episode to give the story an optimistic ending.
